To aZZwiom meg/concern.

Be it known that I, Clmnnns E. ADAMSON, ef citizen of the United States, residing et Meriem lin the county of Grant and State of Indiana, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Dupliceting-Maelnnes, of which the following is e specification.

My iz'ivention relates to duplicating and printing machines, vsuch as ere particularly adapted-:tor use in printing written lettere, but which may for vdi'reet iirintingif desired.

The primitiv object of my invention is the production o be arranged prin-ting-'effirriege with respect-to e typexiormendwherehy 'the impression-roller is eentrolled in its movements by the operator printed Withontunneeessary motion of the 'printing-om'N ringe.

taken on line 'the impressien Another object oi my invention is the provision of e 'reciproceting printing-carriage having en impression-roller mounted therein end movable Ainto endout of printing; po sit'ion and e rnovehle operating-hendie 'fer reciprocating seid carriage, said han/'ie' he ing operetiveiy connected with the impres- 'sionroiier so es to move seid roiier toward and 'from the typeform et any point Within uthe range of movement of seid carriage.

A further ehject is to provide improved meeheniein for deliverii'ig the ,printed sheets from the machine and seme with. the opernting-handle that when roller is moved away from the type-ferm, seid delivery-znechznlisin is An'ioved toward the type-form to ect against the printed seid forni.

A. still further object is to simplify machines of this type, ends, my invention consists -in the Combination and arrangement of devices and in the eonstruction, arrangement, and combination of parte to he. hereinafter described and pertieularly pointed eut in the suhjoined cieims.

Referring. now to the drawings in detail. like 'ietters of reference refer to like parte in the several figures.

The reference letter A designates the inw. chine considered es a Whole.' end or support on which said machine is (mounted. The stand. or support Corn prises fr., sind an end wall h1; seid sides being' grooved,

tes at 712, for sliding engegeinent ytherewith .01 e papenreeeiver C comprising n bottoni 0 a front wall c1 extending from side to side ofthe support and n rear' Wall 32, also extending from side to side otseid'supporb. The reer ends of thesides F) of'said support 'are veomeected by a rock member C''astened means of .screws C2 passingtin'ough 'the sides of seid support and threaded into the ends of said roch-member so that the hitterA ma'y be swung 'into the position. shown in dotted lines in Fig. The reeK- merner has secured to it a curved shield T) o' su`o-' stantialiy U-shape which serves to direct the printed sheets from 4the Y,machine 'into the' paper-receiver C, as will be more clearly expleined hereinafter.

E designates the frame or body oi the me chine which is mounted upon the stand. or supview with the parts in ,i

is a transverse section through the detachedperspectiveview of port B and comprises sides e including legsef. y

strain during the printing o sides e of said frame extend a ve the bed e2, and also extend beyond the'ends of the same. At their upper edges, said sides .are provided with inwardly-directed {ianges e4,

.which latter and the bed e form the upper and lower walls, respectively, of' guide- Secured to the upper surfaceof the bed e2 are chase-guides orretainers F formed of angle iron and extending from end t'o .end of said bed. One-of said guides has a friction-strip f securedto its upstand- -ing member adapted to be engaged by the impression-roller, to be heremafter. described. A g

Located between the chase-guides or retainers F and' resting upon the type-bed is a type-chasepG which may be of any common construction apd has ya, type-forni g held therein, said' form being formed of assembled type arranged in parallel rows, or consisting of electrotype, linotype slugs, or any other object or objects froml which an imprint may be obtained by means of pressure exerted thereagainst. Between one of the sides of the type-chase and the adjacent guide or retainer F a paper-gage g1 is interposed; said gage consisting cfa flat strip of metal having one end reduced in width and bent over the type-chase, as at g2, Flg. 2. rl'his paper-gage may be moved lengthwise so as to bring the bent end or stop'g2 at any desired point with reference to the length of the chase. 'l preferably employ as an inking-medium an inked. ribbon H of considerable length and of a width to cover the typeform; and said ribbon is so arranged and its I ends so connected that during'the operation of the machine, it is moved lengthwise over the type-form. For this purpose I provide ribbon-rollers hi, h1 Vone being located at eachend of the machine, and to said rollers the opposite ends ot' the inked ribbon are secured. One of the ribbon-rollers has its ends mounted in a pair of alined sockets h secured to opposite sides of the frame; one oi' said sockets being preferably fixed while the other is formed on a spring arm h3 se-` cured to the side ofthe machine and adapted to normally retain vthe roller in position. Said spring moval oi' the roller owing to its flexibility which permits the socket carried thereby to be moved away from the cooperating end 0f the roller and thus permit the opposite end thereof to be withdrawn from the fixed socket. 'By grasping the roller when removed from its sockets and moving the same toward the rear end of the machine, or by raising the roller so as to lift Vthe inked'ribbon out of Contact with the type-form, the chase G with its type-form can be easily removed from its supporting bed.

The roller Zz) at the opposite end of the machine, is also mounted in a pair of sockets ration'. The' arm also permits a ready rey l,lock-nuts Z7 are h4 secured t0 opiposite sides of tlie machine,

one of said soc ets being rotated `by a pawl and ratchet-mechanism I and, having one end of said roller so mounted therein that the latter is caused to rotate therewith. Said pawl and ratchet mechanism is adapted to be 'operated by the printing-carriage othe machine, in a manner to be more particularly described hereinafter.

The chase-guides F are separated from the sides of the frame by intervening spaces F1 and in said spaces the side members y of a printing-carriage or carrier to travelas best shown in Fig. 4, said side members being connected by across-member j1 having a `pair of spaced rearwardlyextending ears i2 to which is pivotall connected an operating-handle K adapte grasped by the operator. Said handle com- -prises a grip-member 7c arranged transversely a short distance in rear of the impression-member and in .a plane above the same and side members lol extending forward from the grip-member and having up- J are adapted tobe.`

handle are adapted to normally bear against the cross member jl of the carriage, thereby limiting the extent to which the .handle may be lowered.

In the side members of the carriage, l

notches L are formed in `which bearing-boxes Zare located which are held in position by adjusting-screws Z1 threaded through the carriage above the notches L and having reduced lower portions Z2 passing through the bearing-boxes Z and into bores Z3 the carriage beneath the bearing-boxes. By reducing the lower portions of the adjustingscrews, shoulders Z4 are provided which are adapted to engage the upper faces of the ,bearing-boxes and hold the sam down against the action of coil springsliZ sur- .rounding the reduced lower portionsr of said screws and entered in pockets-Z on the underside of said boxes. Saidv springs bear at one of their ends against the inner ends of said pockets and at their other ends against the lower wall of the notches in which the bearing-boxes lare held. Upon unscrewing they adjusting-screws, the springs 'Z5 act -to elevate the boxes, and the screws serve to hold the boxes in the desired position. For

against rotation after being adjusted, wing threaded onto the adjustingscrews and are adapted to bind against the upper surface of the printing carriage.

of said carriage ,so as to pass over the sheet oi paper with.

the desired pressure, the' extent of moverrient being controlled by the operator and being just siiiicient to clear the iront end of the sheet of paper so that-the drag-amas may be lowered upon return movement of said carriage directly in adtance {i said front end. in drawing the carriage backward, the tendency is to swing the operating-handle upward andthis action causes the impression-roller tobe elevated@ and the drag-arms to be lowered; said dragfront and drawing die rear edgeof the .type-form into engagestate'd,vcauses said sheet to be turned about and delivered into the paper-receiver underneath the type-bearing member. As the carriage approaches the end of its rearward movement it engages the ratchet-mechanism 1,'. whichmay be of any common construction, and Icauses the 'inked ribbon to -be wound upon the-ribbon-roller hl. The reciprooating movement of the carriage or vcarrier is continued until the desired number of sheets of paper have Abeen printed and during such timethe ribbon is wound upon the ribbon roller h1 step by step so as to assliir'e perfect imprint 'for all the sheets.

` lute control of the extent to which thecarriage must be moved, sheets of paper or cards of any size may be printed without compelling the carriage to travel through its full range of movement, thus avoidingipnecessary wear on the parts, preventing iinnecessary movement of the carriage, and considerably increasing the capacity of the machine.
